| Before our exclusive panel of former American Idol contestants weighs in on Randy Jackson, Paula Abdul, and Simon Cowell's individual performances during the last semifinals week, we've got to talk about the 311 situation. You know, the fact that Randy, Paula, and Simon not only failed to recognize Blake Lewis' song choice — that would be rock-reggae band 311's ''All Mixed Up'' — but they all freely admitted as much on the air. ACE: At that point I felt like I was the only person in the world who knew 311. Maybe I should go buy the CD and drop it off for all of them. You know that the judges didn't go to college in the '90s. I'm a fan. |
